The model Christmas village at Gates Garden Centre in Oakham, Rutland, is a beloved tradition that has been enjoyed by visitors of all ages for many years. The village, which is set up in the garden centre's main hall each year, features a wide variety of miniature buildings, figures, and accessories, all of which are meticulously arranged to create a magical and festive scene.
Over the years, the village has continued to grow and expand. Today, it features over 100 buildings, including houses, shops, churches, and public buildings. There are also hundreds of figures, including people, animals, and vehicles. The village is also decorated with a variety of festive lights and accessories, such as Christmas trees, snowmen, and reindeer.
In 2023, the model Christmas village underwent a major restoration. The village was completely rebuilt, and new buildings, figures, and accessories were added. The village's layout was also redesigned to create a more realistic and immersive experience for visitors.
The restored village is a huge hit with visitors. The village is now more popular than ever, and it has become a must-see attraction for families during the Christmas season.
